May 13-May 17

Hello Parents!

It was a wonderful busy week in our classroom this week. Just because the end of the school year is winding down, that doesn't mean our learning is! We keep right on trucking along with our goals, new lessons, guided reading, and spelling.

Even though we are continuing to work hard in the classroom, it has reached that time of year when all guided reading books are due back to the library! That means that this was the last week for sending home leveled reading books. We will go to the library and check out books today but this will be our last trip to the library to check out books for this year.

Next week is our Little Elm Special Olympics Track Meet on May 22nd! This is going to be such an exciting time for us. Please remember to dress your child for the weather today and to apply sunscreen to them before coming to school. They will need a disposable nonrefrigerated lunch on that day. Also, please make sure that they were tennis shoes and socks since there will be a lot of running happening! Again, we do not need chaperons this time since all of our students will have an individual buddy but you are welcome to sit in the spectator stands and cheer for us!

Also next week, Friday May 24th is a bad weather day so we will not have school on Friday or the following Monday (May 27th). Yay for a 4 day weekend!!!

Hello Families!

I first want to take a moment to say thank you to you for the amazing outpouring of love that you have shown to Miss. Fabozzi, Mrs. Stewart, and myself this week! Teacher Appreciation week was amazing for us and we totally enjoyed all of the goodies that were heaped upon us this week. We definitely feel loved and appreciated by all of you! We feel so very blessed that you have entrusted us with your kiddos and we feel honored to have that privilege.

This week our writing focus was on acrostic poems and using describing words to complete these poems. We had a great time brainstorming words and ideas with one another. We took it one step further and used our skills for our Mother's Day gifts! What a fun and entertaining time that was, so if your kiddo comes home with "interesting" describing words to describe mom, well now you know why. Here were two of my favorites:
R-real "she's a real person"
and
E-eggs (she cooks them)

Upcoming Events:

Happy Friday!

It's been a great week this week. On Monday our students had the day off while the teachers planned for next year's vision and goals for our school. Our students have worked hard this week in the classroom. Today we will be heading to the library for our Book Fair preview as well as participating in Jump Rope for the Heart.  Please be on the lookout for your child's wishlist that will be coming home today from the Book Fair.

As mentioned, next week is our Book Fair week. We will be going to the Book Fair on Friday to purchase books so please be sure to send your child with money for books! More details about purchasing will be coming home today so please make sure to look in their FROG binder for this as well. Also next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. A yellow paper was sent home this week that described gift ideas for your child's teachers. If you were planning on sending in gifts for your student's teachers, please remember that they have three teachers in our classroom: Mrs. Bell, Ms. Stewart, and Miss Fabozzi as well as their general education teacher.

Also next Friday the 10th is our Annual Family Fun Night from 6-8pm! Flyers have been going out about this fun event. Please mark this on your calendars for a fun night of food, friends, and fun!
